Not only was this wave of tragic deaths of the Jin army, but also, for a while, the Jin army seemed to have no good solution to this deep water trench.
The pistol went off.
This is inevitable. Water and fire are incompatible. Water is not afraid of fire, but fire is most afraid of water. Even if it is wrapped in oil paper, it will inevitably get wet when rolling in such a muddy ditch.
What's even more frightening is that the fire starter can't be used!
Not to mention recycling, you can use it as you please. Even if you let it light up again, it is no longer possible.
More importantly, with this deep water trench blocking the way, it is simply impossible to talk about charging into battle!
The wise and brave general Liu Yu can no longer control this tragic situation. He has only one goal.
That is to kill Yang Bi!
This matter was not difficult to handle. After coming back to life from the edge of the trench, Yang Bi almost became meat on Liu Yu's chopping board!
"Where can the evil beasts of Di Qin run away!"
Liu Yu pulled out a halberd from a dead soldier and chased after him without saying a word.
How could Yang Bi have thought that Liu Yu, who had been shaken by him, could survive by chance? Not only did he survive, but he lived better than anyone else, with high energy and high morale, and he was planning to take his life!
The spear in his hand almost bled from his grip. Liu Yu galloped on his horse and found the target among the rebellious army.
Just ahead!
Yang Bi's horse was already showing signs of fatigue. Perhaps the general only knew how to run away, and the poor horse didn't even get a chance to breathe.
The horse's hoofs had no strength left in kicking, and the distance between Liu Yu and Yang Bi was getting closer and closer. No matter how Yang Bi beat it, it just refused to go any faster.
On the contrary, Liu Yu's Chai Feng performed very well at this moment. As the saying goes, one knows one's shame and then becomes brave. Just because of its slackness, Brother Jinu almost died in Nishuigou.
After some hard lessons, Zhui Feng turned a corner and became energetic and completely refreshed!
He ran all the way and chased after him. Liu Yu, who was riding on his back, thrust out the spear without much effort!
puff!
There was a muffled sound. It was the sound of a spear piercing the breastplate. It was the sound of Yang Bi being stabbed and vomiting blood suddenly!
Ouch!
With the final neigh of the war horse, it was extremely tired and knelt down on its front hooves. Although it was not injured at all, it could no longer stand up.
And Yang Bi, who had been vigorous and exhausted just now, was also thrown away as his horse capsized.
An unusually powerful force came from the war horse or from the extremely powerful Liu Yu. Yang Bi, who was still riding the horse just now, fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, vomiting blood.
Puff, puff... puff, puff...
"you……"
"I didn't expect...in the end...in the end...I would die in your hands."
Liu Yuzong immediately stepped forward. Yang Bi was lying on the ground, rolling his eyes, and happened to see his figure.
He gasped in pain and could hardly speak a complete sentence.
After killing Yang Bi, this trip to Nanyang City was not in vain.
The spear was still stuck in Yang Bi's back, and the entire spearhead sank into his flesh. This depth was enough to witness how powerful Liu Yu was.
In any case, Yang Bi could be regarded as a general of Di Qin, with a famous name. Now that he died tragically in front of his eyes, Liu Yu could not feel the slightest bit of grief.
On the battlefield, there are only brave men and cowards, only winners and losers. If you want to be praised by soldiers, you must either be brave and be glorious in defeat. Or you must be victorious. Even if you are playing tricks, there will be no one in the face of a huge victory.
question.
Yang Bi did not take advantage of any of these two points, so it ended in a dismal ending.
Perhaps, dying in Liu Yu's hands was still a glorious thing for him. At least, he became a big bluestone paving the way for Liu Yu to become a god.
His already lackluster life suddenly had some meaning.
Liu Yu held the wooden pole of the spear and tugged hard, and the blood in Yang Bi's body burst out immediately. Yang Bi, who was gasping for air, twitched his heavy body a few times, and finally let go.
"Jiu Nu, the situation is not good!"
After several fierce battles, the Jin army finally managed to control the situation.
Since there are trenches in front of Nanyang City, don't rush to attack the city. Huan Yi still has this wisdom.
In this way, we can successfully block the soldiers who rush up, continue to sink into the ditch, and reduce losses.
However, although the main force was successfully preserved, the situation on the Jin army's side was still not optimistic.
In the trench in front of the Nanyang City Tower, the muddy water was surging with waves, and waves of water splashed up. Although the water flow was already stagnant, it still refused to calm down.
The ditch, which was about a foot wide, was littered with corpses lying down, floating, and all kinds of things.
Of course, there were more Jin troops and fewer Qin troops.
Yang Ding's plan has finally come true.
"Wild King, for this plan, it is no longer possible to attack the city in a short time. We must retreat quickly and think of another way."
From a basic point of view, Liu Yu certainly did not want Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and give up the attack on Nanyang City since they had already reached this point.
However, the reality is so cruel that he is not allowed to have any unrealistic illusions. Of course, Liu Yu will never give up siege. The key is to find a practical way to reduce casualties while reducing casualties.
, and can pass through the trench smoothly.
At this moment, the battle under the city was so fierce and his thoughts were so chaotic that Liu Yu couldn't think of any good solution.
The so-called retreat is an expedient measure.
Huan Yi nodded: "Okay!"
"Let's split up. I'll gather the soldiers. You can resist here for a while longer."
The two of them looked at each other and immediately made up their minds. Just when they were about to separate, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind them: "Why retreat?"
"We still have a secret weapon that we haven't used yet!"
Except for Wang Shilang, anyone who can make such a relaxed and joyful voice on such a chaotic battlefield does not need to second guess.
"Secret weapon?"
"Zhiyuan, haven't we already used it?" Huan Yi patted his waist. The gun on his waist had not been used for a while, and the barrel was cold.
Without gunpowder, nothing can be done.
Looking at the Nanyang battlefield, the sound of pistols is sporadic and very rare.
Wang Mi, Liu Chun and others rushed over quickly. When they saw the miserable scene under the gate of Nanyang City, they screamed several times.
late!
He's late!
This was his mistake. If he had acted decisively and landed earlier, perhaps the Jin army would not have suffered this disaster.
Tears burst out of his eyes instantly. At this moment, Wang Mi put away his game mentality and no longer naively thought that with pistols and firearms, he would be able to gain an absolute advantage over the Jin Dynasty who knew how to use swords and arrows.
Aren't the ditches in front of him and the floating corpses just slapping Wang Mi in the face?
Doesn't it hurt?
pain!
But can tears be tolerated on the battlefield?
I just cry, is it useful?
Wipe away the tears and leave everyone with a smile.
On this battlefield, if he is crying and has no plan, then who among the thousands of soldiers and brothers can rely on?
Although no one said it explicitly, Wang Mi knew very well that all the generals here were still looking at him.
His orders are the backbone of the brothers. This bone of his cannot be broken!
"Do you think I have no other preparations besides the pistol?"
"Are we not prepared?" Although he didn't know what special arrangements Wang Mi had, Liu Chun had already blown it out on someone's behalf.
Yes, give full play to the specialties of Jingzhou soldiers!
"Wild King, the team still needs to be gathered together, we will attack the city later, we must concentrate our strength!"
"I leave this matter to you!"
Siege?
In their current state, can they still attack the city?
With confusion and countless questions, Huan Yi still went to run his old business, while Liu Yu was lucky enough to stay by Wang Mi's side and witness with his own eyes what his secret weapon looked like.
"Jinnu, let's dismount and rush to the bottom of the city tower!" Seeing the corpses strewn everywhere under the Nanyang City Tower and the trenches deep, Wang Mi did not hesitate and immediately jumped off the horse. Behind him, Liu Yu and others also followed suit.
.
Only Liu Chun, the famous general of Jingzhou (half), refused to dismount.
"Zhiyuan, this is too dangerous, isn't it good?"
What's wrong?
Dilly-dallying is the worst thing!
"hurry up!"
"The gunpowder is with you. If you continue to delay, no one will survive if you delay the important matter!"
Wang Mi had a cold look on his face, a rare stern look on his face. The person who had always been gentle in the spring breeze suddenly became fierce and vicious. His intimidating power was quite astonishing.
After being slightly frightened, Liu Chun rolled and crawled off his horse.
It would be great to have fun like this earlier!
"Zeng Jing, you guys, carry all the burdens on your heads. Gunpowder is afraid of water, so you must be careful to protect it!"
Wang Mi took the lead and put the burden of gunpowder on his head. Of course, others followed suit.
There is no way, even if it is wrapped in oil paper, it will not work in such deep water. We can only do our best to prevent the gunpowder from getting wet, and transport it safely to the downstairs of Nanyang City.
This is no easy task.
On the way to Nanyang, Wang Mi took a few spare moments and specially made ten gunpowder bags, just for now.
He had long expected that the gunpowder would be consumed when it arrived at Nanyang City, so he prepared a few more copies.
Wouldn't this come in handy now?
However, it is definitely not an easy task to transport gunpowder to Nanyang City. The scheming Di people dug the trench deep and wide.
It is still full of turbid sewage. People who jump into the ditch may not be able to climb out completely.
Coupled with the burden of gunpowder, success is simply something that I dare not even think about.
Everyone was in high spirits, but when they stood in front of the trench, they immediately hesitated. Not only Liu Chun, but also Wang Shilang.
this……
Crossing the trench is really difficult.
“Where are the bamboo rafts?”
"Send the bamboo raft over quickly!"
A living person cannot let his urine suffocate him to death. All kinds of dangers continued around Wang Mi, with swords and arrows flashing, and weapons flying everywhere.
If they didn't have enough protection from the Jin army on the outside, how could they have such leisure and still stand on the edge of the trench to think of countermeasures.
I’m already tired of taking the call!
Although he was safe for the time being, the ever-present danger still put great pressure on Wang Mi.
Victory, only victory can survive!
Only then can we lead our brothers and thousands of Jin troops into Nanyang City!
Pressure is motivation. Wang Mi, who did not expect a water-filled ditch to appear in front of Nanyang City Tower at first, unexpectedly came up with an idea in his haste.
What about bamboo rafts?
Since it can be used on white water, of course it can also be used on trenches.
Not only is it usable, it is even more effective.
The white water is a natural river, wide and long, and the water surface is flat. Even if you stretch your neck and widen your eyes to look hard, you can't see the edge.
However, the trench under Nanyang City was still dug manually. Although all efforts were made, the size was still limited.
"Quick, tie the two bamboo rafts together, connect them front to back, and let's rush over on the bamboo rafts!"
No one would have thought that a small bamboo raft could be recycled on the Nanyang battlefield, and its use would be even greater.
When it was originally built on the white water, the bamboo rafts were connected front and back, and at least five of them were needed to form a pontoon bridge that was barely passable.
But here, there is no such concern at all.
The front and back are connected, and the two are connected, so that the two sides of the trench can be connected.
Soldiers are expensive and fast!
On the battlefield, no matter what you do, you need to do it quickly without slacking off at all.
Wang Mi gave the order and the sailors immediately took action. This task was not difficult for them.
The bamboo rafts are all ready-made, and some even save the need for assembly.
Put it directly on the trench, there is no violation, and it can be used immediately. Before the Qin soldiers noticed these strange bamboo rafts, Zeng Jing led the sailors and quickly threw the bamboo rafts to the other side of the trench.
With a bang, the bamboo raft fell to the ground steadily, but the noise it made was quite loud, which naturally alerted the Qin soldiers who were fighting.
"not good!"
"They are going to attack the city!" After Yang Bi died, only Zhao, the leader of the team next to him, was in charge of the Qin soldiers.
This Zhao Dang was originally a Han Chinese born and raised in Chang'an City. Since he was plundered into the military camp, he has been working very hard.
He rose through the ranks and became an infantry leader.
Although the position is not high, within Di Qin, as a Han Chinese, the team leader already has the highest official position. I want to be a general in my next life!
Zhao Dang, with his sharp ears and eyesight and quick reactions, quickly discovered the activities of the Jin army and saw through their motives.
"hurry up!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"We must stop them!"
traitor!
There are such traitors among the Han people!
This world is really getting darker and darker!
Wang Mi and others were standing on the side of the trench, preparing to rush onto the bamboo rafts to transport gunpowder. When they heard Zhao Dang's words, they felt bad.
"Run!"
"We have to be the first!"
Everything is easier said than done.
The place where the bamboo rafts were built was not the place where Wang Mi and the others were standing. If there was such a discrepancy, the Di people in the city should still be blamed.
Who made their trenches so poorly made?
The width and distance are different. In order to make the bamboo rafts stay stable on the trenches, of course, we must find the narrowest place between the trenches to start.
This principle is the same as on the river.
By the time Wang Mi and the others arrived with their gunpowder bags, Zhao Dang had already rushed forward with his own soldiers!
